Even if i was in the market for a SUV i would look at the Blazer before this. that rear end isn’t sitting right with me and the fact it drives like a Pilot when it’s supposed to be geared towards off-roading. yeah, no.

Definitely thought that this was going to be the UR-V/Avancier from China, tooled for the US market. Would have fit better into Honda's lineup, and actually inject something with a shred of pizazz. A 4th iteration of the same vehicle, meh... At least the exhaust doesn't look like its hanging off, like it does on the Pilot.

The CR-V is as big as the first generation Pilot and the UR-V would be redundant.

AT FIRST, Ford/LMC won't be able to make the industry's best rwd blazer as cheaply as these fwd blazers. (You know there will be next-big-thing rear-wheel drive GM TrailBlazers and such, to Ford's range of Aviators, Explorers and cop cars -- all the same thing.) GM is already discounting an outgoing "Cadillac" alphanumeric, by remarketing XT5 a capital-B Chevrolet.

Never before have I seen such divergent, deliberate strategies -- Ford's, which is quite public, and GM's -- with good arguments for both. Honda's? This is tack. (Oh it will sell.)

Agreed. Pain in the a$$ to live with. Having to be extra careful squeezing into your garage or a regular parking space. Then having someone park right next to you making all but impossible to avoid banging doors getting in/out of your car.

90's and 00's Ford Explorers were about the same dimensions all around. Honda also always makes their vehicles a bit wider than the competition. Even the Civic is wider than most other compact cars and it pays off in interior dimensions too. Even the current JGC is about the same length but a bit narrower. This is no longer than a midsize Camry.

Great addition to the line-up. Although only slightly shorter on spec, it looks a lot more compact. To the folks suggesting this is too wide, there are other SUV's to choose from. Honda is known for their packaging and for those that haul a lot of crap, the utility aspect of this is ideal. Not as well, according to Honda, the track is also wider on the Passport. Wider track means better stability.
